LGBT

Bologna is known as being traditionally a very welcoming city, open to diversity in gender and culture. Since the '70s new clubs have opened where the LGBT community could meet, organize cultural events and go for entertainment . The dialogue between the city and the LGBT community is still open and is part of the city's cultural richness.

Biblioteca Salaborsa is the central public library funded by the municipality of Bologna. It opened in 2001 and provides a rich and fascinating cultural space inside Palazzo d'Accursio, the ancient and historical seat of the city government.

Piazza Maggiore is located at the very centre of Bologna. In the past the square underwent many changes and was further enriched with important buildings: Basilica di San Petronio, Palazzo dei Notai, Palazzo d'Accursio, Palazzo del Podestà and Palazzo dei Bianchi.
